already harry reid, mitch mcconnell, they expected the bill to pass. the key now is going to be -- can negotiate cuts for a spending bill that gets us to the end of the year and makes everyone happy? or are we going to see a v.p. bumping up against the deadline with someone throwing out another bill? the wild card in all of that is raising the debt limit. we will bump into that deadline. that is going to require heavy lifting. host: there has also been talk of possibly a monthlong extension or six weeks. where does that stand? new caller: right now i do not know where that stands. democrats on the hill would like to go that route. i think that republicans would not, at least initially. but i think if they past small bills where they take out a piece of legislation that gets them more in spending cuts towards the $61 billion that they passed on the 19th, i think it would be willing to go that route. if you have a pro rated version of house resolution one in small chunks, republicans would do that. getting it done and moving on to fiscal year 2012. host:

reid and the president saying the debt ceiling talks may be a bigger hurdle than hard-fought deal on the 2011 budget. mark zandi, your thoughts about that? guest: it will be a hard-fought battle. at the end of the day, policymakers absolutely, positively need to come together and raise the debt ceiling limit. if they do not raise the limit, then, early july, the government will be put in a position of paying the bills as they come. when there is no more revenue, will stop paying the bills. that will affect everyone significantly. it may be the case, not only park service's that close, but it is going to be everything related to social security, parts of medicare, medicare recipients may not get money to pay the doctor bills, could be everything that government does will be disrupted. it will be so significant that it would push the u.s. economy back into a very deep and dark recession. it could exacerbate our problems, make a much more difficult to reduce the deficit. in fact, will make a very untenable. the bottom line, absolutely no choice here for policymakers. they have to raise
